Why?

Mark Eby — 7/7/2002 9:16:01 AM (archived)

I didn't see you address the key points of why ISS is more subject to cost over run. Many examples were given. On top of that management is as much an issue as technical difficulty. NASA is under new management with an apparent focus on cost effectiveness although I'm not sure there choices are cost effective as much as cost minimizing.
